How is the information war



el_murid tells us how information on Libya being War:
It would seem that in Russia on his own experience to know what methods are maintained modern information warfare. In 2008, she actually became the object of such a war - when half the stories in August came from South Ossetia and the other half - from around the world. And the second half of the reports we have shown with undisguised bitterness - how so - well, why lie like this when everything is really different?

today at our place atonement for Libya. More precisely, the regime of Gaddafi. Methods of warfare - one in one. Even steeper. However, we have already experienced the dubious pleasure to get to the sight of curves and television cameras, this time for some reason appeared in another trench. And helping to fight this war, the set lies. Our president, who recently talked about all sorts of double standards, lies of the media - today playing in their team, expressing no sympathy got in a similar situation a colleague and the people, and through his lip replicates lie. Our media behave approximately as - replicate pellets of this shit, throwing it into their heads square-cluster method as fat herd of cows in the field. And to pass on such a field, not a heap, becomes very problematic.

Here is a simple and trivial example.

Network publication Gazeta.ru. Ordinary news message . Some town Az-Zawiya (This does not provide a map does not specify its location, the information on population, etc. - in general, what is this Zaplyuysk such - is unclear). Attack some mercenaries Gaddafi. Does not provide any numbers or composition, or armed mercenaries - indicates only that the center of the city shelled by heavy artillery. What? 50 dead. Location figure?

As a result, reference is made to a solid informagenstvo, which, in fact, gives information. Naturally, Reuters. Yeah, this is exactly what very well familiar from the war 0808 - his fotoshoplennye photos from reviving Georgian corpses have become famous as yet.

( Upd1 .
What is typical. Gazeta.ru, does not lead directly reference to a specific message - but on the resource itself Reuters. That is exactly where in the news section published by Reuters about this very Eze-Zaviyu, without a bottle deal problematic. Also very interesting technique, incidentally.
Upd1 End )

opens the corresponding reference , which is referred to our Ez-Zawiya, corresponds to the date, and is similar to the news and read: "Protesters in Zawiyah, an oil refining town on the main coastal highway 50 km (30 miles) west of Tripoli, have fought off government forces for several nights."

Yeah. Now a little clearer - this is the Khawr al-Zawiya is located 50 km west of Tripoli (though other resources indicate that the distance of 40 km - but it's trifle). But about 50 dead - not a word. For unpossessed, translation reads: "Protesters in Az-Zawiya, oil refining city on the main coastal highway 50 kilometers (30 miles) west of Tripoli, fought off the [attack] the government forces for several nights. "

As see, with heavy artillery already sparsely, and about 50 dead - not a word. But here there is some number 50 - is miles away. Maybe, to be sure just changed kilometers the corpses?

Again - the English version says that the residents of the town fought off an attack a few nights in a Russian message is that only for one night the number of is dead ... hereinafter. In other words, creates confidence that the other night corpses were comparable.

( Upd2 .
Another mismatch. English the text says that the residents of the city repulsed an attack by Government forces . Gazeta.ru, is already talking about mercenaries. This is somewhat different things. It's one thing when protesters riot police dispersing the arena - whatever one may say, the state office. Another thing - Russian fascists and Nazis dispersed arrived steelworkers internationalist from Chelyabinsk. The picture changes, does not it?
Upd2 End )

That is - what happens is not clear who attacked whom - is unknown, but there are two clear facts that are laid in the mind - the mercenaries and 50 corpses. 4-5 more posts, which will appear on the bodies, heavy artillery and mercenaries - and it becomes a fact, which no longer require confirmation.

Here is an example of when it is already confirmed, and does not require - the conclusions made by analogy. The same Reuters :

"... From Misrata, a major city 200 km (120 miles) east of Tripoli, residents said by telephone that a thrust by forces loyal to Gaddafi, operating from the local airport, had been rebuffed with bloodshed by the opposition.

"There were violent clashes last night and in the early hours of the morning near the airport," one resident, Mohammed, told Reuters. "An extreme state of alert prevails in the city."

He said several mercenaries from Chad had been detained by rebels in Misrata. The report could not be verified but was similar to accounts elsewhere of Gaddafi deploying fighters brought in from African states where he has long had allies..."

Переводим: Мисрата, крупный город 200 km (120 miles) east of Tripoli. Residents said by telephone , that the attack forces loyal to Qadhafi, initiated from the local airport was repulsed by the opposition with bloodshed.

"There were strong collision yesterday evening and early hours of the morning near the airport," - said the U.S. Agency Reuters one resident, Mohammed. "In The city retains an extraordinary state of readiness. "

In addition, he said that some mercenaries from Chad were detained by rebels in Misrate.

Information not could be verified , but were similar reports from other places, where Gaddafi unfolded fighters entered from African states, where he has allies. "

Here. That's how this war and maintained. Some kind of Mohammed on the phone to communicate something - and this goes to our RSS feed. And along the way there is going information is exactly the same quality and has deployed fighters from other African countries. Which, by the way? Is that - international assistance intervention - what a fighter? And as a fighter to fight with the ground by the rebels, by the way? From machine guns to shoot him? Fighter - he sharpened by air goals, and ground combat may or bomber, or a universal fighter-bomber. Unfortunately, Reuters did not bother showing the type aircraft, brand and quantity. But the impression - creates.

A news going on. And after the fifth to tenth translation and retelling of miles of changing the corpses, for weighty added heavy artillery.

And the most interesting. Like any respectable informagentstsvo Reuters, in the end conveys exactly who was deployed watch at his post, passing under the bullets and bombs, so important to the world information. Read:

(Additional reporting by Yvonne Bell and Chris Helgren in Tripoli, Marie-Louise Gumuchian and Souhail Karam in Rabat, Dina Zayed and Caroline Drees in Cairo, Tom Pfeiffer, Alexander Dziadosz and Mohammed Abbas in Benghazi, Arshad Mohammed in Washington, Louis Charbonneau at the United Nations, Angus MacSwan and Sonya Hepinstall in London; Editing by Ralph Gowling)

In other words, more or less to the scene may include two children in Tripoli, and two children in Benghazi. Others scribbling reports significantly more remote and hazardous locations. Judging by the fact that the information in a non-stop mined by phone, the connection is in Libya.

That correspondents sit with the hotel, clearly confirmed by the complete lack of pictures from the scene. And since the photos do not, then we can conclude that neither in Benghazi no corpses in the streets of Tripoli, no, too - otherwise they could be present.

Well, another observation from Reuters. To blunt after each reporting is help. What is Libya - to not bother the brain and did not realize where it is. Help one and the same. Translate:

"Libya provides 2 percent of the world's oil, most of the from wells and delivery terminals in the east. Consequences of the termination of supplies - as well as in the case, if the unrest in the Arab world spread to the main exporters of the Gulf - could increase oil prices to highs over the past two years. "

What can I say? Reuters shall indicate clearly - unrest in the world can spread to the main exporters of the Gulf. Follow our posts. Thank you for not diverted.

only now realized. Just in case, copy and save that same note of Gazety.Ru, because the guys are very often rule already published - in order to avoid, so to speak, future accusations of me that I misrepresented the honest position of honest journalists.
